Filters and Lens Accessories

Hyper Cinor
SOM Berthiot manufactured this wide angle lens attachment. Intended for standard
focal length D mount lenses, it doubled the field of view of the lens to which
it was attached. The attachment appears in a 1940 American Bolex catalog,
and reappeared in advertising during the mid 1950s as the Hyper Cinor I and
II.

Paillard Iris Vignetter
This Paillard attachment was intended for use on Leitz lenses as a means for
making a closing or opening vignette. It was listed for $8, tax included,
in 1942.

Slot Conversion
Although the 'behind-the-lens' filter slot wasn't included as standard on
the H-16 until 1954, some cameras had been modified to accept these filters
for well over a decade. This was an official modification done by authorized
repair shops, and was available for both the H-16 and H-8. Six metal filter
holders were supplied in a leather sleeve.
